The ship Europa 2
Since may 2013 the MS Europa 2 is the jewel in the fleet of Hapag-Lloyd Cruises. The renowned cruise guide Berlitz Cruising & Cruise Ships rated the Europa 2 repeatedly with the top rating 5-star plus. The ship focuses on modern design and a casual holiday atmosphere without a tuxedo and evening gown. With plenty of space per passenger and spacious suites, each of the max. 500 passengers aboard can find its personal place to feel good.
In October 2019 there were several changes done during a shipyard stay: the self-service restaurant Yacht Club on deck 9 was renovated, some furniture in the Belvedere was renewed and the gym was equipped with a new floor.
About Hapag-Lloyd Cruises
Hapag-Lloyd Cruises stands for luxury on small ships. On board all ships, you can expect individual experiences, first-class service, and sophisticated programs on the ship and ashore. In addition to the Europa and Europa 2, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises has three expedition ships: Hanseatic inspiration, Hanseatic nature, and Hanseatic spirit. The shipping company offers many special features, especially the expeditions, which you should book early, but also themed trips such as golf trips or musical events. Since July 2020, the ships in the fleet have been using only low-sulfur marine gas oil and no longer heavy fuel oil. This reduces emissions by 80% and results in up to 30% less particulate matter and soot particles.
